Big Sean and his friend, upcoming artist SayItAintTone were accused of “forcibly” touching a woman after a concert in upstate New York. The AP reported:

Rapper Big Sean faces charges in upstate New York after a woman complained she was sexually assaulted during a concert.State park police charged the 23-year-old Detroit rapper with misdemeanor counts of forcible touching, unlawful imprisonment and sex abuse. Another Detroit man, Willie Hansbro, faces the same charges.Police received the complaint Thursday night at Artpark State Park in Lewiston, just downriver from Niagara Falls. Anderson was performing there with rapper Wiz Khalifa.Big Sean and Hansbro were issued appearance tickets and released on $500 bail. They’re scheduled in Niagara County Court on Sept. 6.

After reaching out to Big Sean’s team, his lawyer Scott E. Leemon sent over this short statement denying the charges:

Last night, recording artists, Sean “Big Sean” Anderson and Willie “Sayitainttone” Hansbro were arrested and then immediately released by the NY State Police in connection with an allegation made by a female who was at their concert in Lewiston, New York.
Both men were charged with misdemeanors and they both vehemently deny the allegations.
I am confident, that after further investigation, both men will be vindicated.

In more lighthearted Big Sean news…he recently sat down with Complex’s Andre Jones and named his fashion influencers, and surprisingly, Kanye is really his first choice…
After the jump…

“Who inspires you, fashion wise?
Don C was one of my [fashion] mentors. Ibn Jasper, Kanye, Nico, and Pharrell. When I first met Kanye, I didn’t really have that much style. I always had a style—it’s just an extension of you—but I didn’t know how to translate the style into my clothes, nor did I have all the money I needed to. [Laughs.] Sometimes you just can’t afford that shit. Even now, there’s a whole bunch of shit I can’t afford so it would be pointless for me to even get it.

When I see a belt that cost over a $1000 I’m like, “Ain’t no way I’m gonna spend like $1000 on a belt.” Even shoes, I’m not about to spend fucking $700 on some shoes, that’s just fucking ridiculous. You can make exception for the Kanye Louis Vuittons, but I ain’t even pay for those.

Has Kanye put you on to anything different art wise?
Nah, Kanye hasn’t put me on to anything art wise. But he’s into all that. It’s funny because he’ll show me some art shit and I’ll be like, “Man, you’re weird as hell.” Me and Kanye are homeys so he’ll just laugh and shit. But it’s cool though. That’s just him. He’s just being unique. That’s what he loves to do. “

He didn’t even get a chance to recoup of his sales yet and already legal woes.. yikes!!. Im not a fan of his per-say but god be with him through this. Fame is vicious man . Their are chicks that are violated and scum bags that do it should be prosecuted but their has to be a gigantic loop hole cause “forced touching” is considered a sexual assault really?

@stringer yup, pac went to jail for same charges. something is wrong with that legislation though. or maybe its just me , im desensitized I guess

so if you in a club setting and your dancing and you touch a girl where you shouldn’t have;is it an sexual assault? can you be charged? its not as simple as you perceive it the law never is.What irks me is bishop eddie long touched lord knows who and is scott free but one girl gets touch by a rapper and screams rape. that law is bias. I’m not saying irraticate it but theirs defenetly a grey area.
